Influence of Processing Technology on Creep Damage of Ultrafine-Grained Titanium

Abstract:

This work deals with the influence of the processing technology of ultrafine-grained titanium by the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) on its degradation processes in creep at elevated temperatures. Commercial grade titanium heats with different content of carbon were processed by multi-stage rolling. Creep tests under constant tensile stress were performed in a protective atmosphere of argon at a temperature of 673 K with application of different stress levels. The microstructure of the fractures creep specimens were analysed by metallographic and fractographic analyses using scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM). Under the same creep loading conditions the heat with higher content of carbon exhibited better creep resistance due to stronger effect of precipitation hardening by titanium carbides.
